Dental Bridges
by Specialists
Our Edmonton dental bridges provide a fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring function and appearance.
At Vivid Specialized Dentistry, bridges are designed with prosthodontist-led planning to ensure proper fit, bite alignment, and long-term stability. Each restoration is crafted to integrate naturally with your existing teeth.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or implants.
Bridges help restore chewing function, maintain bite alignment, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting after tooth loss.

FAQs
How long does a dental bridge last?
With proper care, a dental bridge can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and regular maintenance play a major role in longevity.
Will a bridge feel strange at first?
It’s normal for a bridge to feel different initially. Most patients adjust within a short time, and refinements can be made if needed.
Can teeth under a bridge still get cavities?
Yes. While the bridge itself won’t decay, the supporting teeth can. Daily cleaning and routine visits are essential.
Will a bridge affect my speech?
Some patients notice minor changes at first, but speech typically returns to normal quickly as your mouth adapts.
What if my bridge breaks or becomes loose?
Contact us right away. We’ll assess whether it can be repaired or needs replacement—prompt care helps prevent further issues.
How does a bridge compare to a partial denture?
A bridge is fixed in place, while a partial denture is removable. Bridges tend to feel more natural and require less daily maintenance.

to be part of your smile story
I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Arif Sumar in January and February of 2026 - a total of three visits - to have a crown placed on a back molar implant. Dr. Sumar and his staff delivered the highest quality of care, striking a perfect balance between being expertly professional and precise and warmly lighthearted and approachable. Dr. Sumar goes the extra mile in everything he and his staff does, yet the price of care is standard. Because of the high quality of care I received at Vivid, I will be returning for regular maintenance.

Dr Sumar and his team always exceed my expectations in every way. Everyone is professional and friendly and the care is outstanding. I had some extensive crown work completed by Dr Sumar after my orthodontic treatment about 4 years ago. I continually get comments from both friends, family members and even my dentist and hygienist on how natural and good they look. I highly recommend this office.

I had a good experience at Vivid Prosthodontics! The staff was super friendly and made me feel comfortable! The clinic is clean and welcoming, and my appointment was efficient. My teeth felt amazing after my treatment all thanks to the team! Def a five star totally recommend if you are new and are getting a crown
– Kumara Muniwarage
Wow, what a nice and welcoming environment! I felt bit nervous when I went for my cleaning and checkup, as everyone does going into a dental office, but all of the staff from the reception to the hygienist and the doctor were all very pleasant and professional. Everyone here just seemed to love working here. The booking was super smooth, intake was fast, and the procedure was painless, informative, and my teeth feel great now! I will definitely come back here and refer some of my friends too.

The committment to quality work is outstanding. Dr. Sumar and his team are perfectionists. Something I really appreciate when it comes to dental work. I have had a number of crowns here and have been impressed by the quality of work each time. Their committment to patient care is clear to see, they want what is best for their patients. I would highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Sumar!

Dr Sumar and his staff are all very wonderful!
From the very moment you enter you become family. The premises are state of the art yet warm and welcoming.
I’ve been a patient for a few years now and would highly recommend the team to anyone who needed advanced dental treatment.
I can’t say enough great things about all of my experiences I’ve had the kindness I’ve
received.
